whatever is pure , whatever is lovely , whatever is admirable , if anything
is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things .
Philippians 4:8
Whatever is true : Meditate on God's truth
- When you focus on things that won't let you down , your anxiety level goes down , the love of God won't let you down . The truth of God , will not let you down
Whatever is noble : Appreciate God's worth
You are aware of what God is doing in the world , and so your eyes are lifted from the common things around you to focus on the godly .
Whatever is right : Cooperate with God's plan
Before we can do the right thing , think the right thing
Whatever is pure : Appropriate God's cleansing
Refocus your thoughts by thinking about the cross of Jesus- about the sacrifice he made there to offer you the gift of forgiveness .
Whatever is lovely : Anticipate God's abundance
To think about whatever is lovely is to let God entertain you , The word entertain in here doesn't mean in the lower sense of word but the highest - the sense of deeply enjoying something. Whatever we're doing , enjoy the abundance and gooodness of God ,
Whatever is admirable : Communicate God;s encouragement
Loving God with all your mind involves looking for what's best in others and telling them " I see something of God's character in you "
If anything is excellent : Be motivated by God's presence
If anything is praiseworthy : Celebrate God's goodness
God will keep in perfect pease those whose thoughts turn often to Him .
With all your strength
Strength is where your inner thoughts and feelings touch the outer world.
